Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
Cut 1/2 cup cold butter into small cubes. Work into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Stir in 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Pour in 3/4 cup cold milk. Stir with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead 2-3 times, then pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Step 7
Cut into 8 rounds with a biscuit cutter or glass. Place on prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Step 8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked through. Serve warm.
Step 9
Optional: brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with extra cheese before baking for a richer finish.
